Valley Center Road Corridor Concept Plan Hearings Update
The Valley Center Road Corridor Concept Plan (VCRCCP) does not include any proposed changes to the County General Plan or zoning. Therefore, California Government Code does not require a County Planning Commission hearing prior to County Board of Supervisors consideration of the project. The VCRCCP includes an accompanying Ordinance to integrate requirements into the County Regulatory Code. A two-step hearing process with the Board of Supervisors is required for adoption of the Ordinance, in order to provide a formal “second reading” of the Ordinance at a second hearing. The VCRCCP is tentatively scheduled for the two hearings with the Board of Supervisors on February 26 and March 12, 2025. An email notice will go out to the project email list when hearing dates are confirmed.
If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Johnston at Kevin.Johnston@sdcounty.ca.gov, or (619) 458-2473.

Corridor Concept Plan Process
The Valley Center Road Village Corridor Concept Plan is a County-initiated project that seeks to formalize a corridor access management strategy for Valley Center Road in the area of the North and South Villages, from Woods Valley Road on the south to Cole Grade Road on the north.
The access management strategy will develop a full range of alternatives with recommendations related to intersection design/control (including signalization improvements and/or roundabouts), safe ingress and egress from adjacent streets/driveways, and operations from the perspective of all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrians, and drivers.
Funding for the project is being provided through a grant from Caltrans and the project will run in parallel with a County-initiated community plan update.
Previous Meetings
New VCRCCP Options, Citygate Report, and Corresponding Community Meetings 2023-2024
In October 2023, three new Corridor Concept Plan options and a report on emergency response and evacuation (Citygate Report) were published for public input. Additional information and links to these items can be found here: 2023 VCRCCP Options & Citygate Report.
In late fall and winter 2023-24, the Valley Center Community Planning Group’s (CPG) Mobility and Community Plan Update Subcommittees held combined meetings on November 29, 2023, and January 22, 2024, followed by a meeting of the full CPG on February 12, 2024. These meetings were devoted to review of the new VCRCCP options, providing opportunities for the groups to receive staff presentations and public comments, ask questions of staff and public safety personnel, and deliberations and recommendations. At the end of this series of meetings, the full CPG voted to recommend 2023 VCRCCP Option A with one revision to remove the roundabout proposed at the Woods Valley Road intersection in that option. This recommendation became the basis of the Draft Final VCRCCP.

Workshop – Thursday, July 21, 2022
The third public workshop included a presentation on the Draft Corridor Concept Plan, and interactive stakeholder exercises to receive public input for the Final Corridor Concept Plan and priorities for implementation.
The Draft Corridor Concept Plan (CCP) shown in links below, that was out for public review in 2022, is not the current proposed CCP. The project team will be presenting new CCP options and associated additional analysis for stakeholder consideration in 2023.
